Is Amy Rose playable in the game?
I'm more or less avoiding spoilers but this is the one thing I wish to know.

That's irrelevant. This was laziness from SEGA's part, not something inherent to the characters.
Perhaps, the most intresting thing they could do with Amy though is have Eggman slit her throat
Sally Acorn still exists.

Why do you keep necroing threads from 2017?

Anyway, since this thread is now brought up again, there's an Amy mod: https://gamebanana.com/wips/50006

Before Bowsette won't be canon to Super Mario lore and Mai Shiranui from Fatal Fury won't join Smash, There was this.

I know I'm a few years too late, but no.

The difference is, all four teams had slight differences in terms of abilities. Only Sonic and Shadow have the light dash, only Amy can send a tornado forward, only Espio can turn invisible, Espio can stick to walls indefinitely until you press the action button whereas Sonic and Shadow fall off after a short time and Amy can't do it at all, but she can do a higher and longer jump with her hammer by holding down the jump button.

Every single team also had a different team blast that actually had different effects. Yeah, all teams do play the same fundamentally, but I don't mind because of the little differences between the different teams. It's not just the difficulty or level design that changes between teams.
She will be playable one day.

I'm fine with Amy not being playable anyway, she's just a very minor side character (she appeared like twice in CD outside of the intro and ending cinematics) and each time she got a playable appearance this wasn't done well.

I think the majority of people that played Sonic Advance would disagree with you. Amy is great in that game.
Amy's perfectly fine in Advance 2 (aside from the unlock conditions...) and Advance 3, albeit a little less unique in those games.
In Sonic Adventure she's alright. A little slow, and her story is mostly running around the hub areas watching cutscenes, but otherwise it all works.
She plays fine in Adventure 2's multiplayer.
She's alright in Sonic Heroes, since every team plays almost identically.
She's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in Sonic 06, but then, so is every single other character.

Really not seeing the problem.

And outside of the meta era where they pretended no one but Sonic, Tails, and Eggman existed for most of that period, Amy's only slightly more "minor" than Tails or Knuckles. She's easily one of the most notable characters in this series.

If Amy Rose was to be playable again in another 2D Sonic game, I would be fine if she plays just like she did in Advance 1. After all, her hammer abilities and the inability to spin jump or spin dash actually changes the game in some interesting ways you just won't get with any of the other characters, requiring you to change your approach to the level design in some pretty significant ways.
